Rewind time from NBC as Tim Allen shared the story of the first time he met Jay.

Later, Jay showed a clip from “Jay Leno’s Garage” with Tim burning out in his old-school Camaro.

Animal expert Dave Salmoni brought a pair of lion cubs for Jay to play with and one of them enjoys a pillow from the couch and Sara Bareilles performs.

JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE

FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 2014

DO YOU GAMBLE ON THE SUPER BOWL? YOU WANT TO BE CAREFUL IF YOU GAMBLE ON THE SUPER BOWL. LIKE LAST YEAR I MADE A SUPER BOWL BET WITH JIMMY FALLON. I THINK WE KNOW HOW THAT TURNED OUT… STUPID…STUPID IDEA…

ACCORDING TO A PLAYBOY MAGAZINE SURVEY, 73% OF WOMEN SAY THEY WOULD RATHER WATCH THE SUPER BOWL THAN HAVE SEX: LUCKILY THEY DON’T HAVE TO CHOOSE; THAT’S WHAT HALFTIME IS FOR. THAT’S WHY YOU HAVE THAT BREAK IN THE MIDDLE.

SPEAKING OF THAT; POLICE IN NEW YORK CITY HAVE BUSTED A HIGH END PROSTITUTION RING THAT WAS WORKING THE SUPER BOWL. I GUESS PROSTITUTES ARE VERY POPULAR AT THE SUPER BOWL. IT’S A HUGE PROBLEM. THESE GIRLS ARE VERY SOPHISTICATED: FOR A $1,OOO THEY WILL GIVE YOU THE OVER AND THE UNDER.

SUNDAY IS A BIG DAY FOR THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY – NOT ONLY ARE THEY HOSTING THE SUPER BOWL, IT’S ALSO GROUNDHOG DAY. DID YOU KNOW THAT? GROUNDHOG DAY IS DIFFERENT IN NEW JERSEY; IN NEW JERSEY IF CHRIS CHRISTIE SEES HIS SHADOW, SIX MORE WEEKS OF BAD TRAFFIC.

IN ATLANTA PEOPLE ARE STILL COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SLOW RESPONSE TO THE ICY ROADS AND SNOW. I DON’T THINK THE GOVERNOR HELPED HIMSELF ANY. HIS EXCUSE…HE SAID, “EMERGENCY CREWS WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE SOONER, BUT THERE WAS A STORM.”

IT IS SO COLD; IN NEW YORK CITY ANTHONY WEINER GOT HIS PENIS FROZEN TO HIS IPHONE. THAT’S HOW BAD…

RATINGS FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA’S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS WERE THE LOWEST IN 14 YEARS. THE SPEECH DREW 33 MILLION PEOPLE; WHICH IS STILL PRETTY GOOD – CONSIDERING IT WAS A RERUN.

THAT ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE SHIP…YOU KNOW THAT ONE WITH ALL THE PEOPLE ON IT THAT WERE VOMITING AND HAD DIARRHEA? FINALLY ARRIVED IN NEW JERSEY! IN FACT, IT’S THE FIRST TIME PEOPLE ARRIVING IN NEW JERSEY EVER SAID, “WOW, THIS PLACE SMELLS GREAT.” IT’S THE FIRST TIME THAT’S EVER HAPPENED.
